I've been so C.R.A.Z.Y. with nesting lately that I decided to actually look the term up on the internet to find out if it's just in my head. Well, it's not. Apparently it's real and it's a sudden urge to prepare your house for the baby. I guess it usually arrives in the 9th month of pregnancy but mine arrived in the 6th month or so. So, this is what I recently did...organized our pantry. Okay, does this make sense? The baby will not be eating any of this food any time soon, nor will he/she be actually playing in the pantry. Yet, I felt the urge to prepare our pantry for the baby? What's wrong with this picture?
Obsessive I know. I even pulled out the label maker!***
The whole waiting for baby to arrive feels a lot like when we had our California home on the market. I was constantly cleaning, attempting to keep clean and organizing things to make a good impression on buyers. Who am I trying to impress now? We haven't had many people visiting. Oh, let me explain it this way. You know how women (most) feel the need to clean their home before going on vacation? It's because they don't want to return from vacation to a dirty home. Same thing! I don't want to return home from my hospital vacation to a dirty home. I even reorganized, cleaned and vacuumed our master bedroom closet the other day. What's next?

I did the same thing. I got rid of all my years and years of teaching files, activities, and lots of books when I had resigned as a teacher. I am regretting it big time now. At least you are just organizing and not giving things away. I had a dream about you having the baby last night. I never remember my dreams.
